0x80070103

Driver is already installed

What it means

Windows Update offered a driver that is already present or older than the installed one. The error is harmless.

Common causes

How to fix it

  1. Ignore it, or hide the update: Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates.
  2. Update the driver directly from the device maker instead of Windows Update.
  3. Do not roll back a working driver just to clear the message.
